The first rule for rescuers is “don’t make things worse”."Oy!, colonel!, did you not read the blog thoroughly? Candice was ON the gangway and had witnessed some other guests needing assistance from the staff. She then fell in the drink from the gangway. She was not involved in the incident beyond getting a staffer's attention and she ended up falling.Bet we've got Mr. Late For Lunch reading the blog from onboard and responding, eh? ;) “Col.

She endeavored to let the rude pushy guests see just how nice a lady she can be. What that stampeding swarm of assertive buffoons was doing wasn’t fair, it wasn’t nice….. and the feed me a burger and fries NOW guy needs to take a pill of some kind.The Flying Dutchman There is little room for doubt that Candice is worthy of the praise and attention she has gleaned in her attempted intervention of a social injustice…….

Now, Mr. Complaining Waiting in Line for his Food probably would have told you he had a million dollars in his wallet, along with some rare coins and a personalized letter from the Pope, to see how much he could get out of it!

It was the trip of a lifetime which we will never forget. It was my daughter’s first time to Europe who at 19, fell in love with places like Copenhagen and Amsterdam where she now plans to attend school! You were one of the highlights of the trip. We went to your talks and never missed the morning show. I laughed so hard I cried at the first Spectacular show where you had members of the audience up on stage. You are the funniest and best cruise director I have known (have cruised 7 times). We had such a wonderful time and I am definitely planning my next vacation on Carnival with the cruise that you will be directing. Is there somewhere I can look up the cruises that you will be on?I don’t know if you remember but we bumped into you at the Pinnacle Restaurant on the second formal night. You told us how lovely we looked and to my shear embarrassment Elizabeth flashed her lacey frilly knickers which she claims is part of the outfit. I tried to attach a picture but couldn't.My parents are booked on the Splendor when it cruises around South America starting January 31. They are doing 3 cruises back to back for about 40 days. I told them all about you. Will you be doing that trip?...Can you imagine doing a 40+ day cruise with ‘Captain Rude or the ‘you were rude about Al Gore’ guy. I like the ‘ornery passenger stories’ Your spin is hilarious.I really miss the trip and would have easily stayed on the ship for another round. That is why I was so happy to find your blog. Thank you for taking the time out of what must be a hectic schedule, to do this blog. You make us laugh everyday and you keep the Splendor fresh in our memory.Sorry if this is too long for a blog reply. This is my first time doing one of these bloggy thingies.Debi and Elizabeth Oakville, Ontario (Canada) John,

But then I think you do that for everyone, so this is going to be very easy for you.To be honest, I doubt I would have done what she did. I do think I would have tried to find someone to help the woman that was run over by "them", but I am not the brave sort to go the distance. But Candice did and Mr. "I have to eat now, or else", will just be what he is, someone that really should not cruise.Keep smiling John, so looking forward to meeting you on the 11th.
